YAHTZEE - The Door Game

YAHTZEE - The Door Game will probably be one of the easiest if not
the easiest door you have ever setup on your BBS. You should, however
be familiar with your BBS software and how it runs external programs
or "doors". Also, you should be familiar with simple DOS commands like
how to create a directory and how to write a simple batch file. A
sample batch file is included in this package which should work with
most BBS software with very little modification.
The following files should have been in this ZIP package when you
received it:
DESC.SDI One line description of file
DOOR.BAT Sample batch file for running door
FILE_ID.DIZ Complete description using BBS standard
HOF.YAZ X Hiscore data file for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
INSTRUCT.ANS X Instructions for playing YAHTZEE - The Door Game
REGISTER.FRM A handy form for registering YAHTZEE - The Door Game
SCORESHT.ANS X Main Screen for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
SYSOP.DOC These documents for installing YAHTZEE - The Door Game
YAHTZEE.ANS X Sample High Score ANSI file
YAHTZEE.ASC X Sample High Score ASCII file
YAHTZEE.CFG X Sample configuration for YAHTZEE - The Door Game
YAHTZEE.EXE X YAHTZEE - The Door Game main executable
Those files followed by an "X" should NOT be deleted from the directory.
Any others may be at your own discretion.
Installing YAHTZEE - The Door Game on your system:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create a Sub-directory under your DOORS directory (or where ever you
have your external programs). Call this sub-directory YAHTZEE (or any
other name of your choice). Place all the files that were in this ZIP
package in that sub-directory.
Edit YAHTZEE.CFG to reflect the following information:
Line 1 > BBS Name
Line 2 > SYSOP Name
Line 3 > Door Donor's Name (if registered)
Line 4 > Registration number
Using the information for my BBS the YAHTZEE.CFG would look like this:
Grass Roots

Next you will need to edit the DOOR.BAT provided. Here is how it works
quite simply put:
Line 1 > Turn the echo off
Line 2 > Change to the drive on which the door is located
Line 3 > Change to the door directory
Line 4 > Execute YAHTZEE with the drive:\path\filename of the dropfile in
the command line
Line 5 > Change back to the drive the BBS is on
Line 6 > Change to the BBS directory
Line 7 > Exit the batch file
Here is the one I use on Grass Roots (provided as the sample DOOR.BAT):
ECHO OFF
C:
CD \MAX\DOORS\YAHTZEE
YAHTZEE.EXE C:\MAX\DOOR.SYS
C:
CD \MAX
EXIT
NOTICE: Some BBS software revolts at using the "EXIT" at the end of the
batch file. Create it as your BBS documents direct.
For a DORINFOn.DEF, CALLINFO.BBS, or other drop file simple change the
command line following YAHTZEE.EXE to reflect the drive:\path\filename
of the appropriate drop file.
Bulletins will be created in the sub-directory where YAHTZEE - The Door
Game is located. To move them to another directory create your DOOR.BAT
file in the following manner:
ECHO OFF
C:
CD \BBS\DOORS\YAHTZEE
YAHTZEE.EXE C:\BBS\DOOR.SYS
COPY YAHTZEE.ANS C:\BBS\BULLS\YAHTZEE.ANS
COPY YAHTZEE.ASC C:\BBS\BULLS\YAHTZEE.ASC
C:
CD \MAX
EXIT
YAHTZEE - The Door Game may be ran locally by simple typing YAHTZEE.EXE
without a Command line added.
SysOp Keys
~~~~~~~~~~
The following keys are available to the SysOp for control of the door
from the Local KeyBoard:
Alt C Chat Mode (Press ESC to Exit Chat Mode)
Alt J Shell to DOS
Alt H Hangup Caller
Alt X Exit Caller back to the BBS
Alt + Add Time (while in the Door) to the User
Alt - Subtract Time (while in the Door) from the User
Thanks
~~~~~~
I hope that you and your callers enjoy YAHTZEE - The Door Game,
and that you find it worthy of your support. Please read the file
REGISTER.FRM for information on how to register your copy of
YAHTZEE - The Door Game.
